The new Chairman of the election committtee of the Edo State All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship primary election and Governor of Cross River State, Bassey Otu, has declared
Senator Monday Okpebholo as the winner of the APC governorship primaries in Edo State.
Okpebholo polled 12,433 votes to defeat 11 other aspirants who contested the re-run election, which was initiated after the first election was declared inconclusive by the leadership of the ruling.
The senator was one of the three winners that emerged from last Saturday’s cancelled shadow poll.
The final outcome of the exercise was announced officially in Benin
following the collation of results from the 18 Local Government Areas of the state.
